Play QuickMatch contests and understand Levels in Daily Fantasy

Play in QuickMatch contests to be paired against opponents of similar skill. Once you’ve competed in five, paid QuickMatch contests we’ll assign you a level based on your performance. Before you’re placed in a Level, you’ll be matched up with other users who haven’t been ranked yet either. Competing against players of similar skill for the best chance at winning!

About Levels

Every time you play in a paid contest your Level will be refreshed overnight. Levels start over every season, so new season matchups are based on last year’s level until at least 5 new, paid contests are completed. The better you do, the higher your Level.

  • Diamond Level - 95-100 percentile
  • Platinum Level - 75-95 percentile
  • Gold Level - 45-75 percentile
  • Silver Level - 15-45 percentile
  • Bronze Level - 0-15 percentile
